No it would break me
If I spent my youthful days running around the open fields slinging a spear around... I just might bring down a cow (water buffalo or something similar) here and there. It's not beyond reason.
I've taken deer and feral hogs, a cow would be no challenge at all.
If I lived by this I'd only be feeding my cats moth/butterfly flavored food
If you would extend it to humans, most people wouldn't be able to eat a potato
Mine can take down small rodents and birds as well. So chicken and since fish aren't off the menu. Turkey? Hell naw
Idk man turkeys are pretty fuckin dumb and have very small necks? Maybe an unsuspecting turkey? Cats are pretty good hunters, or wild ones are at least. Fatass indoor cats would def lose lol
you've, uh, never seen a wild turkey have you
Domestic turkeys are dumb. Wild turkeys are clever, attentive and fast when they want to be.
Nor a 200kgs tuna... But hey
Ok, first off, a lion…swimming in the ocean? Lions don’t even like water. If you placed it near a river, or some sort of fresh water source, that’d make sense. But you find yourself in the ocean, a 20 ft wave, I’m assuming it’s off the coast of South Africa, coming up against a full grown, 800 lb tuna with his 20 or 30 friends. You lose that battle. You lose that battle nine times out of ten. And guess what, you wandered into our school of tuna and we now have a taste of blood! We’ve talked to ourselves. We’ve communicated and said, “you know what? Lion tastes good. Let's go get some more lion.” We’ve developed a system, to establish a beachhead and aggressively hunt you and your family. And we will corner your, your pride, your children, your offspring…”
How ya gonna do that?
We will construct a series of breathing apparatus with kelp. We will be able to trap certain amounts of oxygen. It's not going to be days at a time, an hour, hour 45. No problem. That will give us enough time to figure out where you live, go back to the sea, get more oxygen and then stalk you. You just lost at your own game. You are out gunned and outmanned.
My cats absolutely love kangaroo and elk lol
That's some "campfire cooking in another world" type of stunt. Sylvia would dump it at the back door and demand you butcher and grill it.
But Sylvia could scavenge a cow some other animal hunted and left. So...
This is literally what house cats do. Humans ‘hunt’ and leave the food for them. House cats are scavengers.
